Liberals Just Dont Get It!
Michale Ignatieff says the PM is engaging in "megaphone diplomacy with one of the greatest civilizations on earth, a superpower & should diplomatically raise concerns in a room with the Chinese president."
PM Harper says Canadians don't want us "to sell out our values, our beliefs in democracy, freedom & human rights for the almighty dollar"

harper's record on human rights makes it hard to swallow the rhetoric. he has abandoned the kelowna accord, he has refused to condemn the rcmp for their treatment of arar, nuked the courts challenges program, and has been reluctant to support the rights of gays. he also called human rights commissions an attack on our basic freedoms. so to me, it looks like the conervatives just don't get it. the sagging popularity for this govt in the polls suggests other agree with me.
Harper's Conservatives take another principled stand on real human rights issues - and Liberals just don't get it.
That's because Liberals only use the words 'human rights' to attack others when they have no other reasonable means to attack, 'human rights' to a Liberal is just another political tool.
It can be seen that Liberals use human rights only as a tool, they're not interested in human rights themselves. That's why they had it written into the Charter of Rights - they wanted 'human rights' legislation enabled so that it would give them legal control over their Canadian subjects.
Why is it that I always hear the same old.....Harper doesn't care about gay rights crap? Jeff...please do everyone a favour and research the conservative position. Rights are NOT the issue....the title MARRIAGE is. Look at the UK....they have civil unions....gays and lesbians are afforded all the rights as married people...but the title marriage remains reserved for heterosexual partners. Is that wrong? If so, you too are just like all the other "same-sex activists" who one minute claim that they don't care about the title marriage....and the next claim that they need the title. So which is it? Do they want the same rights, the same title, or both? This debate for me pretty much boils down to this.....marriage is a title under god and should remain the way it has always been. I am the number #1 supporter of same-sex rights.....but it's the RIGHTS and not the title. Sadly for many on the left, the conservative position is the same and they would rather fear monger than actually understand the position
I was impressed by Harper's stand on China. Less so on his resolution in the Commons on Quebec nationhood.
